Plumbing the Death Star
How Would You Get to Peter Parker Through the Ones He Loves?
Peter Parker aka Spider-Man loves to keep his identity secret as he’s worried all the powerful people he’s annoyed in his life of fighting crime will use his loved ones to get to him. And rightfully so! When Wilson Fisk finds out who he is he sends a sniper out to take out Aunt May. Or maybe she just gets caught in the crossfire? Maybe it was Crossbones? It’s been a long time. Either way, if his villains find out his Spider-Man it’s a slippery slope that ends up with his wife selling their marriage to a satan maybe. But we don’t want to go that far! We’re just a humble bug themed super villain team consisting of two Beetles and a Worm trying to work out the best way to get to Peter Parker through his loved ones. From going in too deep, to nephew cucking, to plain and simple gaslighting. We’ve got a lot of plans of how to get Spider-Man but not many ideas of why. It’s tough being a villain cursed with the knowledge of who Spider-Man is, probably best to make a deal with a satan and forget the whole thing.

How Would You Huff and Puff and Kill Those Three Little Pigs?
31:31||Ep. 574Plumbing the Death Star has been in the pool for too long and the sun is starting to get to them. You can tell. Duscher's head is burning. Maybe because of this they're turning their attention to fairy tales and trying to eat the three little pigs. Duscher wants to ramraid the pigs brick house, Zammit is unclear if destroying a tent is a crime, and Jackson invents the Hambulance, with truly terrible concequences. "Being in the sun for so long has made the Plumbing Boys even funnier," say the people. And they are right.Links to everything at https://linktr.ee/plumbingthedeathstar including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+573. How Would You Use Chameleon's Powers (as Seen in Kraven the Hunter) To Take Over the Mob?
45:39||Ep. 573Can you believe it's that time of year again? The much anticipated Pooling the Poolstar! Or Pooling the Deathstar? Whatever, who cares, it's hot and we're in a pool. After cooking our brains by seeing Kraven four times in one day for our sister show Baseless Speculation we figured we'd further cook our brains by sitting directly in the sun and having a think about Kraven, categorically the worst thing to do when you're about to suffer from heatstroke. Anyways Kraven's little brother can make himself look and sound like anyone he wants but he cannot change his height and Chameleon's a little guy! We cannot stress how bad of a film this is. At the end of the film sweet Dmitri (that's the Chameleon) has taken over his daddy's mob business (daddy got got by a bear, a bear that Kraven presumably had a conversation with? It is unclear) which got us thinking: how? Sure he started with the power of being his crime dad's son, but what if he was starting from zero (and the powers of mimicking anyone but as a short king)? We also talk about soup a lot. Jackson has a terrible idea for a restaurant.Links to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+572. How Would You Die as Uncle Ben?
53:52||Ep. 572Plumbing the Death Star has a long history of misremembering how Uncle Ben died. Who shot him? Why? Uncle Guts? Well in this episode JoshAus let's the boys revisit that incredible event to ask, hey, how would we have died as Uncle Ben? There's very little great power, and even less great responsibility but there are plenty of references to the movie Old Boy, driving over your own head, and getting munched by an elevator. Another classic.Links to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+571. How Would You Use Frosty’s Hat for Personal Gain or Financial Profit?
01:12:39||Ep. 571Merry Christmas from Plumbing the Death Star! To bring in the hollyest and jollyest of seasons the boys decide to exploit the magic old hat that brought frosty the snowman to life. Unsurprisingly it instantly turns into a ghoulish necromantic mess. It's a yuletide nightmare as bodies are brought back from the dead, billionairs are scammed, and men become double men, whatever that means. So heat up some cocoa, eat some gingerbread, and wonder to yourself: why am I listening to these men instead of spending the holiday season with my beloved family what is wrong with me what have they done to me?Links to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+570. Which Alien Would Be the Worst to Be Abducted By?
55:26||Ep. 570Oh no! Space aliens have taken a keen interest in plumbing the death star and decided to abduct them. What will befall our intrepid trio? Well, Zammit almost instantly dies from exposure, Jackson gets stranded in the past, and Duscher goes to court for a crime he didnt do (but easily could have). There's way less probe talk in this episode than you'd think. Not 0, obviously, there was going to be some, but still you'll be surprised by how briefly it comes up.Links to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+569. How Would You Dunk Achilles Into the River to Make Him Better (and No You Just Can't Throw Him In)?
47:18||Ep. 569No form of pop culture is safe from Plumbing the Death Star, and that includes ancient greek mythology. JohnnyImperfectAlien from the Sanspants Radio discord, asks the boys to give their strategies for dunking their baby boy Achilles in the river styx. To no one's surprise their baby almost instantly gets swept away and Jackson starts eating snakes and then they start remembering the movie coneheads. If you love the boys misremembering ancient myths and getting into arguments about brains and skulls then this is the ep for you.Links to everything in our linktr.ee including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+568. Would You Take the Substance from the Substance?
55:25||Ep. 568In the movie the Substance Demi Moore takes the Substance and gives birth to a Substance baby played by Margaret Qualley, and that's only the start of her problems. Well what if Plumbing the Death Star took the substance, what would that be like? A mess is the answer. We're talking old knobs and baffling talk show appearances. It's not pretty. If you've ever wanted to know what Rupert Grint's favourite movie is we answer that question in this episode.

Which Would be the Worst Fictional Character to Sit Next to on an International Flight?
58:52||Ep. 567Plumbing the Death Star has reunited after their UK tour and just in time for the Cheerful Earful Podcast festival, and they're talking planes and air travel.
